I've found another case that's a lot more pertinent : Proprietary 
extensions to the japanese S-JIS encoding for emoji characters.

There appear to be currently 3 such extensions, DoCoMo, KDDI and 
SoftBank. Basically every japanese cell network has it's own proprietary 
way of encoding emoji, documented in 
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/EmojiSources.txt

As those emoji characters now are encoded inside the unicode standard, 
those extension can't simply be ignored.
